I am proposing an idea for my coursework project, my initial idea is to look at various birthday cards. Including children, adults, older people. And then compare the use of lexis in each of the birthday cards to see how age has affected it.
The reason I would like to do this is because it seems like an interesting project to do, and the data is easily obtainable.
I think you are quite right about the data being easy to obtain. What is the particular language focus you are looking to explore? And would you compare the personal messages or printed? How about time periods?
